Why did they make the female cannibal/mutants so attractive?
I was trying to beat this game with my friend, but all of a sudden when a group of cannibals attacked us while we were exploring (above world) my friend (@brottdog) noticed that one of the cannibals was female (by their EXPOSED cleavage). This took away from the gameplay and overall experience because we really felt like we were at a crossroads that of which being if we should kill her (felt unethical) or give up and try to let her flee. She looked really pretty for a cannibal and something felt different than when killing all of the male or more so should I say, the gender neutral cannibals. Her unnecessary cleavage (and unnecessarily large cleavage at that) distracted us for just enough time for the cannibal chief who led the attack to sneak up behind us and land a fatal hit on my friend. I had to finish off the cannibal chief and luckily the other cannibals retreated after I viciously put him down, so that I could revive my friend. We were both left wondering after the ambush if the addition of female and NAKED characters was mandatory for the complete immersion of the game. As we disputed the topic in-game we came across a "Virginia" for the first time. A Virginia for those who don't know is a mutant that is most basically a multitude of naked women all combined and conglomerated into one spider-like being. I could see how you would be asking, "isn't that too sexual and distracting for some parts of the player base who are just trying to play the game for its horror/survival aspects?" and well yes, we were in the exact same boat as you on that one until we realized something. Damn, the Virginia actually has got a lot of boob(s). I had never looked at a female the same way that I'd looked at that Virginia. Was it really necessary for Endnight Games to create and design them with such realistic, sexual and what I'm really trying to hone in on in this discussion, distracting characteristics? I cannot pay attention to the lore (why I started playing) because of the unprecedented amount of female nudity, there should at least be a [disable female cannibals/mutants] option. It has gone past the game as well. I almost got caught looking at the picture of a Virginia from The Forest wiki at school because she was still on my mind from the night of playing the day earlier. This is a formal request to Endnight Games to tone it back on the unnecessary sexualization of monsters. I haven't played Sons of the Forest yet, but I have heard rumors that the Virginia has become even more depraved, which I am not enthusiastic about. I would like anyone else's input to see if I'm just crazy about this, but I feel like a lot of people feel this way as I about this sad feature of The Forest.
